When I first started teaching I was really pleased with the way school employed so many disabled people to teach music. I didn't know the meaning of peripatetic - got confused with paraplegic! My late mum's favourite word was thwart - I always incorporated it into the class spellings as a tribute to her. I'm another one for mellifluous and chocolate.
Although have to agree with Disneyfan cwtch is a great word - I married a Welshman - not a true English word to match it. DIL (English) agrées now also being married to a Welshman !
GlamGran59 You have brought back a lovely memory of one of my friends.We were both in our early 20s and after one spectacular Christmas party when she had fallen over and I went to help her up she told me 'Sorry I have had a temporary loss of the equilibrium ' how we giggled!
